How about a prize for the person that invents the best all new religion with one or more Gods and loads of special instructions (dietary, pray whilst leaning to the left at a 30 degree angle - whatever).

The catholics would have a saint for whatever stupid thing we could come up with already.

True that. Reality is far sadder than what we could come up with, how bout a competition to find the most ridiculous religion out there? Although I do like the challenge and idea of making our own.. I'd have to come up with something better than an ant goddess named Violet who doesn't grant wishes properly..
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Or lets rate them in order of stupidity.
Monothestic religions would be the most stupid.
Polytheistic slightly less so. IF there was a god then there is the only way to get one and that is through evolution, which requires a pantheon of gods culminating in the top god.
Religions based on aliens are more likely because there could possibly be aliens.
and so on.
Still all shit of course.

Right? If the sun is a god, who created the sun? Zues? Who the fuck created that guy? That dude was incompetent and promiscuous at best . Did the Egyptians have a Creator of the gods god? What about the Mayans made them so much more mathematically advanced than others? What exactly do the African and south American or Eskimo tribes believe? And the Vikings? For that matter what do witches believe? I was always prohibited as a Christian, to study witchcraft. Dammit now I'm gonna have to look all this up tonight.

Uou guys are getting way too intellectual. Lets go with a good, old-fashioned frat-style competition.
I vote for a belching contest. Everyone can enter.
In fact, I would pay to see MissLuckie belt one out!

If you knew forum lore, you would understand. I was making fun of the Klackon, obviously. Seriously, I don't know how I could have been any more obvious...
